Almighty God, we thank You for the frost and chill, which helps us to be bright and alert for the work of the

Holy God, You incline toward us and hear us when we call out to You. During the various committee hearings of this week, give us the ability to give our attention to others and hear them. Bless us with ears to hear Your Word, and to recognize it as Your Word when it is spoken by others.

We pray for the gift of hearing with discernment, that we might distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, truth from that which is less than true.

Be with us this day with the grace we need to do Your will. We honor and glorify You, Almighty God, forever and ever. Amen.

WHEREAS, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services is authorized pursuant to Chapter 192, RSMo; and

WHEREAS, the Missouri Department of Transportation is authorized pursuant to Article IV, Section 12, of the Missouri Constitution and Chapter 226, RSMo; and

Please remove my name as a co-sponsor from House Bill No. 258. I was added in error. Thank you.

I wish to advise you of my employment as an attorney with the law firm of Shook, Hardy & Bacon, LLP. I have no ownership interest in this firm, and the fees earned by other attorneys in the firm do not impact my salary.

There are well over 500 attorneys in this law firm, many of which may represent parties with an interest in proposed legislation. In the majority of these cases, I will not even be aware of this representation, as clients of my employer exceed ten thousand and change daily. Some attorneys in my firm may provide some legal representative to parties that may be impacted by decisions made by the Missouri General Assembly. The representations exists in several states and change rapidly, so the identification of each attorney/client relationship cannot be specific.

To the extent that a particular piece of legislation directly impacts an entity that I know to be a client of my firm, in a manner different than it impacts other similarly situated entities in that industry, I will abstain from voting on the proposal.

I respectfully request that House Bill No. 314 be withdrawn. House Bill No. 314 revises the definition of "practice of pharmacy" and establishes the Well-being Committee to aid pharmacists who suffer from illness, substance abuse, mental illness, or physical impairment.

On motion of Representative Dempsey, the House adjourned until 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, January 31, 2007.
